Critical Analysis Of Certain Apocryphal Reports In The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints As Related By Members Of The Church, Don L. Penrod

Theses and Dissertations

From time to time some members of the Church knowingly or ignorantly circulate fallacious stories, rumors, or unsubstantiated reports of a sensational nature, which become more injurious than constructive. Also problems arise when the record of a person's spiritual experiences is published about by others. Often such material becomes garbled as it is passed from person to person.

This study investigates some of these rumors and stories in an attempt to discern if there is any truth in them and to present statements of General Authorities as to the position the Church takes, if any, concerning the stories embraced in …

Fort On The Apache Plunder Trail: A History Of Fort Buchanan (1856-1861), Theodore R. Parent

Theses

Arizona State Route 82 winds through the high country of southern Arizona. Approximately 9½ miles north of the present town of Patagonia, the road makes a sharp 90° turn toward the northeast. At this unmarked turn of the road, today’s casual driver sees the surrounding countryside covered with low-growing oak trees. Intermixed with these are several groves of large trees, some over 100 years in age.

The area is also cut by several canyons that lead into the valley through which the highway passes. These arroyos have been given such names as Hog and Monkey Canyons by early settlers to …

The Working-Class As Portrayed In The Rougon-Macquart Series By Emile Zola, Ian Kim Hallaran

Theses and Dissertations (Comprehensive)

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the portrayal of the working-class by Emile Zola in his Rougon-Macquart and to present the working-class as Zola saw it.

Recital Notes On Works By Bach, Haydn, Martin, And Ibert, Janice Dockendorff Boland

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The 18th century was a golden age for flute music. The greater as well as the lesser composers wrote abundantly for the instrument. Perhaps the greatest composer of this century was Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), who made important contributions to the flute literature of that era. Bach's works can be divided chronologically into three stages: the early or "organ music" stage, the middle or "instrumental music" stage, and the final "church music" stage. We shall be concerned with his instrumental music stage and, more specifically, the chamber music which it incorporated.

The Realistic Approach To Tradition And Change In The Novels Of Rabindranath Tagore, Robert C. Granner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1861 and died in 1941. Both his life and thought span the epoch of renascent India, and his novels realistically reflect the problems and struggles of the Indian people during the past century. In this thesis Tagore 's development, not so much as a great novelist but as a social commentator and reformer, is discussed. His role as a liberal mediator between the violent reactionary and the vehement traditionalist is a predominant factor in all of his prose writings, and it is from this point of view that each of his novels is examined.

The Philosophy Of Love In Selected Dramas By Paddy Chayefsky, Bettie Lou Hoos

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A study of the dramas developing the theme of love by contemporary dramatist, Paddy Chayefsky, discloses his philosophy of love to be the essence of meaningful life. His nine plays depicting this concept may be divided into three categories according to the type of love they portray: philotheistic, romantic, and conjugal love. The Tenth Man, Gideon, and The Passion of Josef D., representing philotheistic love, reject man's ability to love God. The highest love he ls capable of is that for his fellowman. In his romances, Middle of the Night, Marty, and the secondary plot of Holiday Song, a a …

Patrick J. Hurley And China, 1944-1945, Robert T. Handy

Dissertations and Theses

On November 26, 1945, the Ambassador to China, Patrick J. Hurley, announced his resignation to the American press. In doing so, he leveled charges against the State Department and a number of its Foreign Service officers—charges which questioned the integrity of many, in their relation with what Hurley termed the “Imperialist” and communist nations in China. Those charges were the beginning of two and one-half decades of ideological crusading in America by many who developed the theory that those men charged by Hurley had been responsible for America’s “loss of China”

Hurley was sent to China in 1944 as President …

Totiusque Ecclesiae Suae Sanctae; A Comparison Of The Ecclesiologies Of St. Augustine And Hans Kung, Edward J. Sullivan

Dissertations and Theses

This paper attempts to compare the ecc1esio1ogies of the fourth century Bishop of Hippo and the controversial twentieth century theo1ogian. In doing so, a study is made of each writer independently in order to extract his conceptual models of the Church. Special significance is given to the names each attributed to the Church and the consequences of these names as they pass from an analogical to an ecc1esio1ogica1 sphere. A study is also made of the functions of office within the Church with respect to the fulfillment of specific ministries. Here the two divide, Augustine meets the Donatist challenge by …

René Lalique: A Biographical And Stylistic Analysis Of Two Areas Of Influence - Classical And Japanese Art, Judith Gayle Booth

Art & Art History ETDs

One of the outstanding artists of the Art Nouveau period was the French jeweler René Lalique. Despite the designation of Lalique as "les plus ropresentatif de l 'Art Nouve.1u" very little research has been done on him or the sources of his unusual jewelry. The dual purpose of this study is to establish a biography of Lalique and present a stylistic analysis of two of his sources: Classical and Japanese art. It is hoped that an analysis of the career and sources of this major figure will aid in producing a deeper understanding of the French Art Nouveau movement.

The Paraguayan Independence Movement, 1806-1814., Jerry W. Cooney

History ETDs

The Independence Movement of Paraguay during the years 1806-1814 has similarities to the vast revolutionary current elsewhere in the Spanish Empire in the first decades of the nineteenth century. There also, criollos of the province had prospered under the Borbon reforms and became increasingly jealous of the favoritism shown to the Spanish- born. In addition, the events of the Napoleonic Wars affected Paraguay as much as they did other Spanish colonies in the New World. However, owing to this area's unique cultural and geographical isolation, the path followed by Paraguay varied in certain respects from the revolutionary paths elsewhere in …

Compositional Modes Of Eduardo Barrios' Los Hombres Del Hombre With An Appended Bibliography Of His Uncollected Prose., Joel Casey Hancock

Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs

Eduardo Barrios experimented at various stages in his career with the diary form as a basis of his fictions. This narrative frame, utilizing the language of speech, provided him with a form within which he could explore the aspects of human experience and personality that most interested him. The theme of jealousy, which had occurred in earlier works, comes to be the central theme of the novel Los hombres del hombre and, through the inherent intimacy of the diary form, generates the self-scrutiny of the protagonist. The confessional form also allows Barrios ample range to explore his hero--through the device …

Close Communion, Stephen Bartelt

Master of Divinity Thesis

The scope of-this study, rather, is to see where the Lutheran church has stood on the practice, as well as its reasons for standing where it has. Within these limits, furthermore, no claim is laid to the comprehensiveness of the treatment. The material presented is selective. The excursion into the practice of the early church was included for two reasons. First, the study Eucharist and Church Fellowship in the First Four Centuries by Werner Elert indicates that the practice of closed communion was maintained in the early church for some of the same reasons it was practiced among Lutherans. Secondly, …

[Mythoi (Romanized Form)] And [Genealogiai (Romanized Form)] In The Pastoral Epistles : A Reappraisal, Dale Banke

Bachelor of Divinity

This paper is a tentative reappraisal of the nature of the μυ̑θοι and δενεαλοδίαι as these reflect a portion of the heresy combatted in the Pastorals. It is not intended to be an investigation of the entire heresy, much less the complete gamut of exhortation which the Epistles contain. This might appear to pose a false separation, since the wider contexts of the passages that include mention of the μυ̑θοι and δενεαλοδίαι seem to draw in much of the polemic and even some of the advice concerning early church order contained in these letters. Nonetheless, only those aspects of the …

An Evaluation Of The "Affirming Rural Mission" Workshop As A Vital Part Of The Preparation Of Lutheran Pastors For The Town And Country Ministry, Wilbur Gehrke

Master of Divinity Thesis

The purpose of this paper, first of all, is to examine the many problems faced by the people living in town and country communities. By citing various authorities on the rural church, I will demonstrate how these problems also affect the church in town and country.

Secondly, I will discuss the need of a more specialized training for ministerial candidates for the town and country ministry. My research for this section included a study of the placement of ministerial candidates of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod between 1962 and 1967 by Allen Nauss. I also studied the placement of the 1970 …

The Cluniac Reform, 910-1157, With Special Emphasis On The Development Of The Cluniac Order, Wallace Behrhorst

Bachelor of Divinity

For that reason .the paper will not cover the entire fie1d of Cluniac history and influence. To give a complete study of the topic would involve a study of fields beyond the scope and purpose of the present work. The author would propose other phases that would prove quite fruitful for further work.
